Download or read book Trade Secrets written by Wilfred Clarkson and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2015-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A trade secret is confidential, commercially valuable information that provides a company with a competitive advantage, such as customer lists, methods of production, marketing strategies, pricing information, and chemical formulae. Well-known examples of trade secrets include the formula for Coca-Cola, the recipe for Kentucky Fried Chicken, and the algorithm used by Google's search engine. To succeed in the global marketplace, U.S. firms depend upon their trade secrets, which increasingly are becoming their most valuable intangible assets. However, U.S. companies annually suffer billions of dollars in losses due to the theft of their trade secrets by employees, corporate competitors, and even foreign governments. Stealing trade secrets has increasingly involved the use of cyberspace, advanced computer technologies, and mobile communication devices, thus making the theft relatively anonymous and difficult to detect. This book discusses the theft issues, legal protections and industry perspectives on trade secrets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely Handbook marks a major shift in innovation studies, moving the focus of attention from the standard intellectual property regimes of copyright, patent, and trademark, to an exploration of trade secrecy and the laws governing know-how, tacit knowledge, and confidential relationships. The editors introduce the long tradition of trade secrecy protection and its emerging importance as a focus of scholarly inquiry. The book then presents theoretical, doctrinal, and comparative considerations of the foundations of trade secrecy, before moving on to study the impact of trade secrecy regimes on innovation and on other social values. Coverage includes topics such as sharing norms, expressive interests, culture, politics, competition, health, and the environment. This important Handbook offers the first modern exploration of trade secrecy law and will strongly appeal to intellectual property academics, and to students and lawyers practicing in the intellectual property area. Professors in competition law, constitutional law and environmental law will also find much to interest them in this book, as will innovation theorists.
Download or read book Trade Secrets A Detailed Analysis of Domestic and Global Challenges written by David E Nevins and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast development of the recognition of trade secret rights from roots in English common law to the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPs) has ensured that the topic has recently been subject to intense scrutiny. Over the past thirty-five years, trade secret protection has become an essential method for companies to regulate their own respective proprietary information, in place of a backdrop of law. This development was recognized at the legislative level by the enactment of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (first in 1979, and again in 1985), whereby states were free to modify or omit sections of the text. Nevertheless, the implementation of what was aimed to be a uniform piece of legislation has not gone accordingly. Debates surrounding the status of trade secrets as either a tort or intellectual property (akin to patents, trademarks, and copyrights) have affected the efficiency of the UTSA as a uniform code. To accompany this dilemma, restrictive covenants (accompanied by various doctrines) and confidentiality agreements have also affected how the UTSA is interpreted at a judicial level. Additionally, the enactment of the Economic Espionage Act has criminalized the misappropriation of trade secrets (under certain conditions). The federal legislation has exposed flaws in maintaining trade secret legislation at state level, criminalizing what is a civil violation has created a vacuity in the area of trade secret litigation. To add to this, the United States is a signatory to the TRIPs agreement. The lack of civil federal legislation raises many issues concerning whether the U.S. is satisfying its obligations under the Agreement, and as such, may hinder efforts to influence the policies of China and the European Union, especially. The objective of this academic research is to analyze the status of trade secrets as a category of intellectual property, insofar as how the UTSA distinguishes between trade secrets and confidential information, and how restrictive covenants and contracts exist to protect trade secrets outside the sphere of the legislation. This study will also analyze the flaws in the other categories of legislation that currently exist. Underlying these studies will be the contention that a civil federal trade secrets act can rectify a great deal of problems that are currently preventing uniformity within the US, and preventing satisfaction of external obligations.

Download or read book Protecting Trade Secrets Under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act written by Michael C. Budden and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1996-10-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade secrets are valuable. Executives know that, but do they also know how easily they can be stolen? Marketing expert Michael Budden thinks not. The departure of unhappy employees, sabotage by current employees, or simply the carelessness of managers unmindful of the risks or unaware of the protection available to them can be hazardous to the security of essential corporate information. Now, however, there is the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Prevalent in most states with enactment in others almost certain, the Act offers the protection executives need providing they have taken reasonable steps on their own before seeking redress under its provisions. In this readable text, Budden explains the law, how it works, and what executives must do to avail themselves of it. He includes revealing case studies for further guidance and to aid executives in their corporate strategic planning. An essential resource for people with management responsibilities in almost all organizations, and a useful quick refresher for their legal advisers. Losses to organizations through trade secret misappropriations cost billions of dollars annually. No industry is immune. Trade secrets take many forms; recipes, formulas, customer lists, market research results, proprietary processes, and product development secrets are a few examples. Under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, however, companies that have created plans and procedures to guard against such losses before they occur can now seek injunctive relief and collect monetary awards for damages. Dr. Budden introduces readers to the Act and the jurisdictions that have adopted it, and then explains what executives must do to create the necessary precondition of establishing a climate of confidentiality, including the use of non-compete covenants, and nondisclosure and noncompetition contracts. He goes on to lay out the sort of information that must be protected and how to appraise its value and the nature of its secrecy. Following up with advice on developing a plan of action to protect trade secrets, he concludes with a thoughtful discussion of the legal avenues and alternatives that executives can take and an outline of all the trade secrets protections the Act makes available.
